HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Pull the meat off the chicken with your fingers and shred or tear into chunks. You can also use two forks to pull the meat apart or dice it into small pieces. It’s up to you what size chunks you’d like! 

Heat your choice of chicken gravy to a low boil. Sometimes I use jars and sometimes I use mixes. Choose your favorite.

While it’s heating up, mix up your dumpling batter.

Add the leftover rotisserie chicken to the hot gravy.

Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter onto the boiling gravy stew. The dough will be very sticky, so you’ll have to scrape it off the spoon with your finger.

Reduce heat to a simmer and let cook uncovered for 10 minutes, then cover and cook an additional 10 minutes.

Serve immediately, spooning gravy over the tops of the dumplings as you serve them.

The dumplings will be deliciously soft and tender!
